A)
Section 26
B)
Section 28
C)
Section 30
D)
Section 32
Under the Mizoram Excise Act, 1973, the provisions regarding the surrender of licenses are detailed in Section 28. This section outlines the procedure and conditions under which a licensee may surrender their license to the licensing authority.
- Section 26 typically deals with the conditions of licenses or the power to grant licenses.
- Section 28 specifically addresses the 'Surrender of License'.
- Section 30 and 32 generally pertain to the suspension, cancellation, or penalties related to the breach of license conditions and other regulatory enforcement measures.

_______ should not be entered in the Service Book unless the Superintendent of Excise and Narcotics considers that such entry is desireable.
A)
Suspension
B)
Demotion
C)
Warning prescribed by Manual
D)
Dismissal
In the context of service records and disciplinary proceedings under the Mizoram Excise & Narcotics Manual and general state service rules, there is a distinction between 'Major Penalties' and 'Minor Penalties/Administrative Actions'.
1. Suspension, Demotion, and Dismissal are formal penalties that significantly affect a government servant's career, seniority, and pay. These must be recorded in the Service Book as they are legal outcomes of disciplinary proceedings.
2. A 'Warning' is generally considered an administrative action or a minor corrective measure. To avoid permanently stigmatizing an employee for a first-time or minor lapse, the rules typically specify that a Warning should not be entered in the Service Book unless the competent authority (in this case, the Superintendent of Excise and Narcotics) deems it necessary for the record due to the nature of the offense or repeated behavior.
Therefore, 'Warning prescribed by Manual' is the only option among the four that is discretionary regarding its entry into the Service Book.

The Act allows liquor consumption with permit.
A)
True

Depends on age
